These Athletes Have Single-Handedly Changed The Way We See Women In Sports!

1. Miesha Tate, MMA

Mixed martial artist Miesha Tate is one of the most experienced fighters in the Women’s’ divisions of the UFC. She is one of the deadliest submission specialists in the sport and has cemented her name in UFC history as a future Hall of Famer since she helped pioneer the attraction of Female MMA.

Tate has been handed a few Ls in her time. One of those losses (against Ronda Rousey in 2012) was still such a good fight that UFC president Dana White credited it as one of the driving forces behind the creation of a women’s division – that’s just plain impressive.
